I was just going through some of the new apps being released on app store, I found this google buzz app for iPhone called Buzzie, this app is not official that means it is not from google, but being made by some independent developer Alberto García Hierro

Team Viewer is an excellent tool for remotely accessing computer. Till now it worked only between computers, but the official iPhone app of TeamViewer has brought a world of possibilities to access your computer from anywhere in the world from your iPhone / iPod Touch.

Imagine you are somewhere out at some place and urgently need to connect to your computer. Or in case you need to help out some of your family member or friend with his/her problem by accessing his/her computer remotely, this app comes very handy in such situation. Now you can simple Remote Desktop onto any computer in this world connected to Internet and running TeamViewer (of course you need credentials for that).

Here is a first hand review which I did with my iPhone and Windows 7 PC.

This is how the main screen looks with

When you connect to your PC using TeamViewer iPhone app, it shows you initial instructions which you can turn on with the toggle  at the bottom of the screen.

The instructions are pretty simple and self explanatory -

• Drag with one finger to move mouse pointer
• Tap one finger for click
• Tap two fingers for a right click
• To drag and drop or resize / move windows, double tap and then hold
• Drag with two fingers to scroll
• Pinch to zoom in or out
• Shake for quick monitor switching

One really nice thing about this app is that it work in both landscape and portrait mode by detecting the motion and rotates automatically.

This is the fist look at the Computer from my iPhone. Looks pretty impressive and clean. The text is very clear and readable, scrolling is very effective and accurate and there is no problem whatsoever with typing, clicking or moving the mouse pointer.

When you tap the keyboard icon, it launches a simple qwerty keyboard, when you tap on another icon second from right on the top in screen below, it opens the additional special keys.

This is how it displays the Function keys, scroll lock, right click key, page up, page down and cursor keys which are necessary for several desktop applications. And also the very useful keys like Esc,Alt, Tab, Windows Key, etc.

This is how it looks on a full zoomed out screen in portrait mode.

The app also allows you to reboot your computer remotely. To so that, just click the tool like button at the bottom on the screen and it will show you options like the screen below.

You can go to settings and check out the session information while a session is on.  The data transferred over network, session time, etc.

To end your session, click the X mark at the bottom left and close the connection. I am totally impressed by this app and love to use it inside my home when I am in other room watching TV or spending time with family and need to access my Computer in the other room to check certain stuff.

The only and major limitation I find is that this app does not work on 3G / EDGE network and requires an Wi-Fi connection. If you have a jail-broken iPhone, you can overcome this restriction by using 3G Unrestrictor tool we reviewed earlier.

Note: TeamViewer application is free for personal and non-commercial use only.

TigerText is a free application for iPhone and iPod Touch which allows you to send the sms messages in such a way that, sent message can auto delete itself once its read by the recipient.

How This Work ?

Whenever you send a regular text message, you sent it from your phone and its routed through a server and then delivered to the recipient’s phone. The message you send will live on the receiver’s phone until the recipient decides to delete it. The text message will also reside on the cell phone company’s server for an unlimited amount of time.

TigerText is different because, even though it looks and feels identical to a normal text message, the content of your message is never sent to the recipient’s phone and you control when the message is deleted from our server so you control the lifespan of the message.

What Does Delete On Read Mean ?

“Delete on Read” indicates a message will be deleted 1 minute after the receiver opens the message. When a message is sent with “Delete on Read” as soon as the recipient opens the message a countdown clock begins at 59 seconds. When the clock reaches 0 the message is deleted from the server and therefore does not exist on the recipient’s phone anymore. Please note that if a message is sent with “Delete on Read” but is not opened prior to the expiration of the Text Lifespan, the message will no longer exist and therefore not be read 

Do You Need To Pay For The Messages ?

TigerText is free to try (100 messages sent over 15 days) and it’s always free to read messages. iPhone users who want to send messages pay simply $1.49 per 250 messages sent per month or $2.49 a month for unlimited messages. Blackberry and Droid will be priced in a similar fashion.

Here Are Some Screenshots of the Application In Action which can you the remaining story visually.
